Algeria FA to Petition CAF After AFCON 2025 Loss to Nigeria

The Algerian Football Federation (FAF) is set to submit a petition to the Confederation of African Football (CAF) following Algeria's 2-0 defeat to Nigeria in the AFCON 2025 quarterfinals. The loss ended Algeria's four-game winning streak.

FAF alleges that Senegalese referee Issa Sy denied them clear penalties and made questionable decisions in favor of Nigeria. The match also saw tensions rise as Algerian players confronted match officials, leading to accusations of provocation by Nigerian players.

Videos of the incident have gone viral, prompting FAF to demand a review of the match.
